Tongue weight really isn't a problem. The duece box is really light sheet metal. Even with several chains in the box the trailer tows nice and straight--even empty.
Kenny,
The wheeled one gets it in and out of the garage and I use the stock one to make sure it doesn't fall on the animals. It's there...might as well use it. I wanted to weld the wheel to stock jack, but it's damaged and moves no more! Hope things are going well for you. You still have...

Could someone post a photo of an M1102 behind a civy pickup truck? I am contemplating buying one of these trailers and want to see if it's a practical trailer for a 3/4 ton truck. These are shorter right? Do they tow well? Last question. Are these beginning to be released to the public in...

The thing I noticed about the guy getting whacked by the wing was the other guy running out...did you get a load of those Bell-Bottom pants? Took me right back to the 70s!
Nice pics. How stable are these vehicles? They look like they would be quite easy to roll. I've never driven one, but hear they are unmatched off-road.
